301 Redirect Question

    Greetings,

    I had a problem with my site earlier. It has been resolved, but it got me thinking a little bit about 301 redirects.

    301 usually says this page has been moved permanently.

    What if somebody types some random URL on your domain and lands on a page that does not exist?

    Is there a way to create a "catch-all-page" that the user would goto automatically? For instance, if the page does not exist, transfer the user to the home page?

    Thanks for any information about this. I think having a script that does this would be much better than the error page the user sees.

    Sincerely,
    Travis Walters

    Just customize your 404 page through .htaccess file at the root.

    Just add these lines to .htaccess file
    ErrorDocument 404 /notfound.html
    Code (markup):
    and then customize the notfound.html file, as for your liking.
